Robot ergonomics: A case study of chair design for Roomba 机器人人体工程学:Roomba座椅设计案例研究
Ning Tan, R. E. Mohan, Yoke Ying Wong, R. Sosa
Ergonomics is the study of designing more human-friendly products, systems or processes for human. By extending this concept to robotics field, we propose robot ergonomics which is a transdisciplinary approach that brings together roboticists, product designers, and architects to solve numerous unsettled research problems or technology bottlenecks in robotics community through designing products for robots. This paper focuses on a case study of chair design for Roomba. Seven design criteria are proposed and intensive experiments are performed to validate the criteria using 22 chairs. Based on such empirical design strategy, three generic principles (i.e., observability, accessibility, and safety) of chair design are extracted for Roomba.
人体工程学是研究为人类设计更人性化的产品、系统或过程的学科。通过将这一概念扩展到机器人领域,我们提出了机器人人体工程学,这是一种跨学科的方法,它汇集了机器人专家,产品设计师和建筑师,通过设计机器人产品来解决机器人社区中许多未解决的研究问题或技术瓶颈。本文以Roomba座椅设计为例进行研究。提出了7个设计标准,并使用22把椅子进行了大量的实验来验证这些标准。基于这种经验设计策略,为Roomba提取了椅子设计的三个通用原则(即可观察性、可及性和安全性)。

A novel vision-based human-machine interface for a robotic walker framework 一种新型的基于视觉的机器人行走框架人机界面
J. Paulo, P. Peixoto, U. Nunes
This paper presents an innovative Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for a robotic walker. Robotic walkers offer their users an aid for sustaining mobility and the potential to rehabilitate their lower limbs. Mobility is a crucial function for a human being and these aids are paramount for improving the independence and quality of life of those who suffer from some form of mobility impairment. However, important factors like cost and safety make them either frequently inaccessible to the public or discarded due to a lack of confidence in their operation. The approach adopted in this work offers an intuitive human-machine interface combined with innovative safety measures. This result was possible due to the resourceful use of the low-cost Leap Motion sensor. Experimental evaluation was divided into two stages. First the system was tested using a simulated environment which served to validate the principle of operation of the HMI. In the second stage the proposed HMI was tested on board a robotic platform to evaluate its performance in a real-world scenario. Experiments performed with healthy volunteers revealed an intuitive user interaction and accurate user intention determination.
提出了一种新颖的机器人行走人机界面(HMI)。机器人助行器为使用者提供了维持活动能力的帮助,并有可能恢复他们的下肢。行动能力对人来说是一项至关重要的功能,这些辅助设备对于提高那些患有某种形式的行动障碍的人的独立性和生活质量至关重要。然而,成本和安全等重要因素使它们要么经常无法进入公众,要么由于对其操作缺乏信心而被丢弃。这项工作中采用的方法提供了直观的人机界面,并结合了创新的安全措施。这一结果之所以成为可能,要归功于低成本Leap Motion传感器的巧妙使用。实验评价分为两个阶段。首先,利用仿真环境对系统进行了测试,验证了人机界面的工作原理。在第二阶段,提议的人机界面在机器人平台上进行测试,以评估其在现实场景中的性能。在健康志愿者中进行的实验显示,该系统具有直观的用户交互和准确的用户意图判断功能。

Robots need humans in the loop to improve the hopefulness of disaster survivors 机器人需要人类参与进来,以提高灾难幸存者的希望
Lorin Dole, D. Sirkin, R. Murphy, C. Nass
In this exploratory study, participants taking cover from a simulated earthquake interacted with a search-and-rescue robot that assumed one of four different identities, distinguished by varying degrees of autonomy, and whose communications were either clear or noisy. Results showed that identities with low autonomy elicited greater hopefulness from participants than identities with high autonomy. Discussion focuses on design recommendations for search-and-rescue robots, and on the design of immersive HRI experiments.
在这项探索性研究中,参与者在模拟地震中进行掩护,与一个搜救机器人进行互动,该机器人具有四种不同的身份,通过不同程度的自治来区分,其通信要么清晰,要么嘈杂。结果表明,自主性低的身份比自主性高的身份更能激发参与者的希望。讨论的重点是搜索和救援机器人的设计建议,以及沉浸式HRI实验的设计。

A survey report on information costs in introducing technology to care services for older adults 一份关于将技术引入老年人护理服务的信息成本的调查报告
I. Kajitani, T. Sakaguchi, Y. Matsumoto, T. Tanikawa, T. Kotoku
This paper reports the results of a survey on introducing robots and other new technologies to care services, such as care for older adults. Demographic data show that the ratio of older adults in Japan has already exceeded 23.3%. Japan also is facing a severe shortage of the working-age population, which could lead to a reduction in the quality of care services for older adults; therefore, robots and the provision of new forms of information technologies are expected to be utilized in such care services. The purpose of this study is to help facilitate the introduction of novel technologies in care services, such as in long-term care facilities. We focus on information-related costs that are incurred prior to the purchase of technologies such as attending exhibitions and conducting Internet searches. This report shows the results of an investigation into such information-related costs for three different products, and discusses the importance of the appropriate management of information costs from the development phase through to the introduction phase of such products.
本文报告了一项关于将机器人和其他新技术引入护理服务(如老年人护理)的调查结果。人口统计数据显示,日本老年人的比例已经超过23.3%。日本还面临着劳动年龄人口严重短缺的问题,这可能导致老年人护理服务质量下降;因此,机器人和提供新形式的信息技术预计将用于这种护理服务。本研究的目的是帮助促进在护理服务中引入新技术,例如在长期护理设施中。我们关注的是在购买技术之前发生的信息相关成本,如参加展览和进行互联网搜索。本报告展示了对三种不同产品的此类信息相关成本的调查结果,并讨论了从开发阶段到此类产品的引入阶段对信息成本进行适当管理的重要性。

Reinforcement learning of shared control for dexterous telemanipulation: Application to a page turning skill 灵巧遥控操作共享控制的强化学习:在翻页技巧中的应用
Takamitsu Matsubara, Takahiro Hasegawa, Kenji Sugimoto
The ultimate goal of this study is to develop a method that can accomplish dexterous manipulation of various non-rigid objects by a robotic hand. In this paper, we propose a novel model-free approach using reinforcement learning to learn a shared control policy for dexterous telemanipulation by a human operator. A shared control policy is a probabilistic mapping from the human operator's (master) action and complementary sensor data to the robot (slave) control input for robot actuators. Through the learning process, our method can optimize the shared control policy so that it cooperates to the operator's policy and compensates the lack of sensory information of the operator using complementary sensor data to enhance the dexterity. To validate our method, we adopted a page turning task by telemanipulation and developed an experimental platform with a paper page model and a robot fingertip in simulation. Since the human operator cannot perceive the tactile information of the robot, it may not be as easy as humans do directly. Experimental results suggest that our method is able to learn task-relevant shared control for flexible and enhanced dexterous manipulation by a teleoperated robotic fingertip without tactile feedback to the operator.
本研究的最终目标是开发一种方法,可以实现灵巧操纵各种非刚性物体的机器人手。在本文中,我们提出了一种新的无模型方法,使用强化学习来学习由人类操作者灵巧操作的共享控制策略。共享控制策略是从人类操作员(主)动作和补充传感器数据到机器人执行器(从)控制输入的概率映射。通过学习过程,优化共享控制策略,使其与操作者的策略相配合,并利用互补的传感器数据补偿操作者感官信息的不足,提高了灵巧性。为了验证我们的方法,我们采用了远程操作翻页任务,并开发了一个基于纸质页面模型和机器人指尖仿真的实验平台。由于人类操作人员无法感知机器人的触觉信息,因此可能不像人类那样容易直接感知。实验结果表明,我们的方法能够在没有触觉反馈的情况下,通过远程操作机器人指尖学习与任务相关的共享控制,从而实现灵活和增强的灵巧操作。

Towards morally sensitive action selection for autonomous social robots 自主社交机器人的道德敏感行为选择
Matthias Scheutz, B. Malle, Gordon Briggs
Autonomous social robots embedded in human societies have to be sensitive to human social interactions and thus to moral norms and principles guiding these interactions. Actions that violate norms can lead to the violator being blamed. Robots thus need to be able to anticipate possible norm violations and attempt to prevent them while they execute actions. If norm violations cannot be prevented (e.g., in a moral dilemma situation in which every action leads to a norm violation), then the robot needs to be able to justify the action to address any potential blame. In this paper, we present a first attempt at an action execution system for social robots that can (a) detect (some) norm violations, (b) consult an ethical reasoner for guidance on what to do in moral dilemma situations, and (c) it can keep track of execution traces and any resulting states that might have violated norms in order to produce justifications.
嵌入人类社会的自主社交机器人必须对人类社会互动敏感,从而对指导这些互动的道德规范和原则敏感。违反规范的行为可能导致违规者受到指责。因此,机器人需要能够预测可能违反规范的行为,并在执行动作时试图阻止它们。如果不能防止违反规范(例如,在道德困境的情况下,每个行为都会导致违反规范),那么机器人需要能够证明自己的行为是正确的,以解决任何潜在的指责。在本文中,我们提出了对社交机器人的行动执行系统的第一次尝试,该系统可以(a)检测(一些)违反规范的行为,(b)咨询道德推理者,以指导在道德困境的情况下该怎么做,(c)它可以跟踪执行痕迹和任何可能违反规范的结果状态,以便产生理由。

Making HRI accessible to everyone through online videos: A proposal for a μMOOC in human robot interaction 通过在线视频让每个人都能访问HRI:关于人机交互μMOOC的建议
E. B. Sandoval, Omar Mubin
We observe that in comparison to other media; online videos are a powerful outreach instrument for Computing technologies in general and specifically for Human Robot Interaction (HRI). Our experience in creating demos, scenarios and educational videos (we present two anecdotal accounts of educational HRI videos) leads us to believe that such modalities can have large pedagogical value if they are designed and conveyed appropriately. We also found that the rapid hand drawing (exemplified through fast frames in video) is an interesting technique to propagate science facts around social media. We also discuss the prospects of utilising standard MOOC's as a medium to teach HRI and thereby present a proposal of a (nano-MOOC). Furthermore, we also discuss the main challenge of being able to promote retention through HRI pedagogical material as there may be a tendency of withdrawal to deeply technical content. In conclusion, we present guidelines to promote the uptake of HRI across not only educational institutes but also the general public.
我们观察到,与其他媒体相比;在线视频是计算技术的一个强大的扩展工具,特别是人机交互(HRI)。我们在制作演示、场景和教育视频方面的经验(我们展示了两个关于教育HRI视频的轶事)使我们相信,如果设计和传达得当,这些模式可以具有很大的教学价值。我们还发现,快速手绘(通过视频中的快速帧为例)是一种在社交媒体上传播科学事实的有趣技术。我们还讨论了利用标准MOOC作为HRI教学媒介的前景,从而提出了一个(纳米MOOC)的建议。此外,我们还讨论了能够通过人力资源研究所教学材料促进留存的主要挑战,因为可能存在对深度技术内容的退缩倾向。总之,我们提出了指导方针,不仅在教育机构,而且在公众中促进HRI的采用。

Development of a mobile robot moving on a handrail —Control for preceding a person keeping a distance 在扶手上移动的移动机器人的研制——与保持距离的人前面的控制
Yuma Fujiwara, Y. Hiroi, Yuki Tanaka, A. Ito
In this paper, we propose a unique robot that moves on a handrail installed at corridors of buildings like hospitals. The robot guides the guests of the building. Because it moves on the handrail along the corridor, it naturally moves along the corridor without conflicting other people and needs less cost for estimating its position compared with human-sized mobile robots. We propose a method to control this robot so that it precedes a few steps before the person to be guided. We examine two methods: one is a method to keep a fixed distance from the person, and the other one is a method where the robot keeps moving slowly even when the robot and the person is distant. From the experiment, the latter method was more efficient than the former method.
在本文中,我们提出了一种独特的机器人,它可以在安装在医院等建筑物走廊的扶手上移动。机器人引导大楼里的客人。由于它沿着走廊的扶手移动,所以它自然地沿着走廊移动而不会与其他人员发生冲突,并且与人类大小的移动机器人相比,它需要更少的估计其位置的成本。我们提出了一种方法来控制这个机器人,使它在被引导的人之前走几步。我们研究了两种方法:一种是与人保持固定距离的方法,另一种是即使机器人与人距离较远,机器人也保持缓慢移动的方法。从实验来看,后一种方法比前一种方法效率更高。

Selecting the right robot: Influence of user attitude, robot sociability and embodiment on user preferences 选择合适的机器人:用户态度、机器人社交性和体现对用户偏好的影响
M. Ligthart, K. Truong
Selecting the suitable form of a robot, i.e. physical or virtual, for a task is not straightforward. The choice for a physical robot is not self-evident when the task is not physical but entirely social in nature. Results from previous studies comparing robots with different body types are found to be inconclusive. We performed a user study to provide a more sound comparison between a virtual and physical robot operating in a social setting. Besides body type, we manipulated the sociability of the robot. Our results show that 1) user preferences indicate that robot sociability is more important than body type for selecting a robot in a non-physical social setting, and 2) the user's attitude towards robots is an important moderating factor influencing robot preference.
为一项任务选择合适的机器人形式,即物理的或虚拟的,并不是直截了当的。当任务不是物理性质的,而是完全社交性质的时,物理机器人的选择并不是不言而喻的。之前对不同体型的机器人进行比较的研究结果并不确定。我们进行了一项用户研究,以提供在社交环境中操作的虚拟和物理机器人之间更合理的比较。除了体型,我们还控制了机器人的社交能力。研究结果表明:1)用户偏好表明,在非物理社交环境中,机器人的社交性比体型更重要;2)用户对机器人的态度是影响机器人偏好的重要调节因素。

Tap model that considers key arrangement to improve input accuracy of touch panels 考虑按键排列,提高触摸屏输入精度的轻击模型
Takahisa Tani, S. Yamada
The use of mobile devices that utilize touch panels as interfaces, such as smartphones and tablet PCs, has spread in recent years, and these have many advantages. For example, panels can be operated more intuitively than those with conventional physical buttons, and the devices are much more flexible than those that use traditional fixed UIs. However, mistakes frequently occur when inputting with a touch panel because the buttons have no physical boundaries and users cannot get tactile feedback from their fingers. Thus, the input accuracy of touch-panel devices is lower than that of devices with physical buttons. There have been studies on improving input accuracy. Most of them have used language models for typing natural language or probabilistic models to describe the errors made when users tap panels with their fingers. However, these models are not practical because they deal with kinematic errors, not cognitive errors. Thus, we propose a more practical model for improving input accuracy in this paper, in which the tap model includes cognitive errors to avoid tapping neighboring objects to a target object. We consider that our model can describe important properties for designing various UIs depending on practical applications. We also conducted experiments to build our model in a calibrated way and discussed our evaluation of the model and revision of the model.
使用触摸面板作为界面的移动设备,如智能手机和平板电脑,近年来已经普及,这些设备有很多优点。例如,面板的操作比传统的物理按钮更直观,设备比传统的固定ui灵活得多。然而,在使用触控面板输入时,由于按钮没有物理边界,用户无法从手指获得触觉反馈,因此经常会出现错误。因此,触摸屏设备的输入精度低于物理按键设备。已经有关于提高输入准确性的研究。他们中的大多数都使用语言模型来输入自然语言或概率模型来描述用户用手指敲击面板时产生的错误。然而,这些模型并不实用,因为它们处理的是运动学误差,而不是认知误差。因此,我们在本文中提出了一个更实用的模型来提高输入精度,该模型包含了认知错误,以避免将相邻物体轻敲到目标物体上。我们认为我们的模型可以描述根据实际应用设计各种用户界面的重要属性。我们还进行了实验,以校准的方式建立我们的模型,并讨论了我们对模型的评估和模型的修订。

For example, panels can be operated more intuitively than those with conventional physical buttons, and the devices are much more flexible than those that use traditional fixed UIs. However, mistakes frequently occur when inputting with a touch panel because the buttons have no physical boundaries and users cannot get tactile feedback from their fingers. Thus, the input accuracy of touch-panel devices is lower than that of devices with physical buttons. There have been studies on improving input accuracy. Most of them have used language models for typing natural language or probabilistic models to describe the errors made when users tap panels with their fingers.
